40 Ultimate Mind F*** Movies According to Flickside

"Hollywood came up with the irresistible and successful three-act structure of set-up, confrontation, and resolution. But cinema isn't confined by time and space, unlike other artistic mediums such as theatre and painting. Films do deviate from popular wisdom and established conventions. Most of the time, that is reflected in the unorthodox manner of storytelling. However, mind-bending films – or its less polite synonym mindf*** movies – go beyond that and inventively play with the film form. What was once considered as avant-garde and impenetrably surrealist gradually became part of popular cinema. In the list below, I have tried to include as many such films with a complex and somewhat indecipherable film form. This naturally leads to the omission of some familiar movies with unconventional narrative structure and surprising twists. Very quickly then, here are 40 mind bending movies that'll mess you up." - flickside.com
